¹Zvino kana uchiteerera zvakanaka inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, nokuchenjera kuita mirairo yake yose, yandinokuraira nhasi, Jehovha Mwari wako uchakukurisa kupfuura ndudzi dzose dziri panyika.

¹It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that Yahweh your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth:

²Kuropafadzwa uku kose kuchaitika kwauri, uchatevererwa nako, kana uchiteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako.

²and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

³Ucharopafadzwa muguta, ucharopafadzwa mumunda.

³You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.

⁴Zvibereko zvomuviri wako, nezvibereko zvevhu rako, nezvibereko zvemombe dzako, nezvibereko zvemhou dzako, namakwayana amakwai ako, zvicharopafadzwa.

⁴You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

⁵Dengu rako, nomudziyo wako wokukanyira chingwa, zvicharopafadzwa.

⁵Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.

⁶Ucharopafadzwa kana uchipinda, ucharopafadzwa kana uchibuda.

⁶You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.

⁷Jehovha uchakukundisa vavengi vako, vanokumukira, pamberi pako; vachauya kuzorwa newe nenzira imwe, vachatiza pamberi pako nenzira nomwe.

⁷Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.

⁸Jehovha ucharaira kuti uropafadzwe pamatura ako, napazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako; uchakuropafadza panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

⁸Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

⁹Jehovha uchakusimbisa, kuti uve rudzi rwake rutsvene, sezvaakakupikira; kana uchichengeta mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wako, nokufamba munzira dzake.

⁹Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.

¹⁰Vanhu vose venyika vachaona kuti iwe wakatumidzwa nezita raJehovha; vachakutya.

¹⁰All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Yahweh; and they shall be afraid of you.

¹¹Jehovha uchakuwanzira mufaro pazvibereko zvomuviri wako, napazvibereko zvemombe dzako, napazvibereko zvevhu rako, panyika yakapikirwa madzibaba ako naJehovha, kuti uchakupa iyo.

¹¹Yahweh will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.

¹²Jehovha uchakuzarurira fuma yake yakanaka yokudenga, akupe mvura yenyika yako nenguva yayo; nokuropafadza mabasa ose amaoko ako; iwe uchapa ndudzi zhinji chikwereti.

¹²Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

¹³Jehovha uchakuita musoro, haangakuiti muswe; uchava kumusoro chete, haungavi pasi; kana uchiteerera mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wako, yandinokuraira nhasi, uchishingaira kuiita;

¹³Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do,

¹⁴usingatsauki pane rimwe ramashoko andinokuraira, kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, uchitevera vamwe vamwari kuti uvashumire.

¹⁴and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

¹⁵Asi kana uchiramba kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako kuti uchenjere kuita mirairo yake yose, nezvaakatema, zvandinokuraira nhasi; kutukwa uku kose kuchaitika kwauri, uchatevererwa nako.

¹⁵But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

¹⁶Uchatukwa muguta, uchatukwa mumunda.

¹⁶You shall be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field.

¹⁷Dengu rako richatukwa, nomudziyo wako wokukanyira chingwa.

¹⁹Uchatukwa kana uchipinda, uchatukwa kana uchibuda.

¹⁹You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you go out.

²⁰Jehovha uchatuma pamusoro pako kutukwa, nokunyonganiswa, nokurangwa, pazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako, kusvikira waparadzwa, uye kusvikira wakurumidza kupera, nokuda kwezvakaipa zvaunoita, zvawakandisiya nazvo.

²⁰Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.

²¹Jehovha uchakunamatidza denda, kusvikira akupedza kunyika kwaunoenda, kuti ive yako.

²¹Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.

²²Jehovha uchakurova norukosoro, nefivhiri, nokupisa komuviri, nokuvaviswa kwazvo, uye nokushaiwa mvura, nenyunje, nokuvhuva; izvo zvichakuteverera kusvikira waparadzwa.

²²Yahweh will strike you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish.

²³Denga rako riri pamusoro pako richaita sendarira, nenyika iri pasi pako sedare.

²³Your sky that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.

²⁴Jehovha uchashandura mvura yenyika yako ive bukuta neguruva; zvichaburukira pamusoro pako zvichibva kudenga, kusvikira waparadzwa.

²⁴Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.

²⁵Jehovha uchatendera kuti ukundwe navavengi vako; uchabuda kundorwa navo nenzira imwe, uchatiza pamberi pavo nenzira nomwe; uchava chinhu chinotyisa pakati poushe hwose bwenyika.

²⁵Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

²⁶Zvitunha zvako zvichava zvokudya zveshiri dzose dzokudenga nezvikara zvenyika, kusina munhu unozvidzinga.

²⁶Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none to frighten them away.

²⁷Jehovha uchakurova namamota namaronda, nemhizi, nokufunuka, zvicharamba kupora.

²⁷Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

²⁸Jehovha uchakurova nokupenga, noupofu, uye nokukanganiswa komoyo;

²⁸Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

²⁹uchatsvangadzira masikati, sebofu rinotsvangadzira murima, haungafari panzira dzako; ucharemedzwa nokubirwa nguva dzose, hakungavi nomunhu unokurwira.

²⁹and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save you.

³⁰Uchanyenga mukadzi, asi mumwe murume uchavata naye; uchavaka dzimba, asi haungagarimo; ucharima munda wemizambiringa, asi haungadyi michero yayo.

³⁰You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.

³¹Mombe yako ichabayiwa uchizviona, asi haungaidyi; mbongoro yako ichatorwa nesimba uchizviona, asi haingadzoserwi kwauri; makwai ako achapiwa vavengi vako, haungawani unokurwira.

³¹Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have none to save you.

³²Vanakomana vako navanasikana vako vachapiwa rumwe rudzi; meso ako achatarira, ukaneta kuvashuva zuva rose; asi uchashaiwa simba paruoko rwako.

³²Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand.

³³Zvibereko zvevhu rako, nezvamabasa ako, zvichadyiwa norudzi rwausingazivi; uchangoremedzwa nokutambudzwa nguva dzose.

³³The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you don’t know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;

³⁴Uchapengeswa nezvauchaona nameso ako.

³⁴so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

³⁵Jehovha uchakurova pamabvi ako, napamakumbo ako, namamota anorwadza, acharamba kupora, kubva parutsoka kusvikira pamusoro pomusoro wako.

³⁵Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

³⁶Jehovha uchakuisa iwe namambo wako wauchazvitsaurira kurudzi rwawakanga usingazivi iwe namadzibaba ako; zvino uchandoshumirapo vamwe vamwari vamatanda namabwe.

³⁶Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone.

³⁷Iwe uchaitwa chishamiso, neshumo, nechiseko, pakati pavanhu vose kwauchandoiswa naJehovha.

³⁷You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away.

³⁸Uchatakurira mbeu zhinji kumunda, asi uchaunganidza zvishoma; nekuti zvichapedzwa nemhashu.

³⁸You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.

³⁹You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor harvest; for the worm shall eat them.

⁴⁰Uchava nemiti yemiorivhi panyika yako yose, asi haungazori mafuta ayo, nekuti miorivhi yako ichazuka.

⁴⁰You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.

⁴¹Uchabereka vanakomana navanasikana, asi havangavi vako, nekuti vachatapwa.

⁴¹You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.

⁴²Miti yako yose nezvibereko zvevhu rako zvichadyiwa nemhashu.

⁴²All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.

⁴³Mutorwa ugere pakati pako ucharamba achikwirira kupfuura iwe; iwe ucharamba uchiderera.

⁴³The foreigner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.

⁴⁴lye uchakupa chikwereti, asi iwe haungamupi chikwereti; iye uchava musoro, iwe uchava muswe.

⁴⁴He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

⁴⁵Kutukwa uku kose kuchaitika kwauri, nokukutevera, nokukubata, kusvikira waparadzwa; nekuti hauna kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, nokuchengeta mirairo yake nezvaakatema, zvaakakuraira.

⁴⁵All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:

⁴⁶Zvichava pamusoro pako napamusoro pavana vako, zvive zviratidzo nezvishamiso nokusingaperi;

⁴⁶and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever.

⁴⁷nekuti hauna kushumira Jehovha Mwari wako nomufaro, nomoyo unofara, nokuda kokuwanda kwezvose.

⁴⁷Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

⁴⁸Naizvozvo uchafanira kubatira vavengi vako, vauchatumirwa naJehovha kuti urwe navo , uchinzwa nzara nenyota, uchishaiwa zvokufuka nezvose izvi; iye uchaisa joko redare pamutsipa wako, kusvikira akuparadza.

⁴⁸therefore you shall serve your enemies whom Yahweh shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he has destroyed you.

⁴⁹Jehovha achauyisa rudzi runobva kure kuzorwa newe, runobva kumagumisiro enyika, segondo rinobhururuka, rudzi rwausinganzwisisi rurimi rwarwo;

⁴⁹Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you shall not understand;

⁵⁰rudzi rune hasha, rusingarangariri vatana, kana kunzwira majaya tsitsi.

⁵⁰a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,

⁵¹Vachadya zvibereko zvemombe dzako, nezvibereko zvevhu rako, kusvikira waparadzwa; havangakusiiri zviyo, kana waini, kana mafuta, kana zvakaberekwa nemhou dzako, kana makwayana amakwai ako, kusvikira waparadzwa navo.

⁵¹and shall eat the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

⁵²Vachakukomba pamasuwo ako ose, kusvikira masvingo ako marefu ane simba awa ose, awakatenda munyika yako yose; vachakukomba pamasuwo ako ose panyika yako yose, yawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

⁵²They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which Yahweh your God has given you.

⁵³Uchadya zvibereko zvomuviri wako, nyama yavanakomana vako navanasikana vako, vawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako.

⁵³You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.

⁵⁴Murume unoundere nounounengwe kwazvo pakati pako uchava nomufungo wakaipa kuhama yake, nokumukadzi wake waanoda, nokuvana vake vaanenge asarirwa navo;

⁵⁴The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining;

⁵⁵haangapi mumwe wavo nyama yavana vake vaachadya, nekuti iye haangavi nechaakasarirwa nacho, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako pamasuwo ako ose.

⁵⁵so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.

⁵⁶Mukadzi unoundere nounounengwe pakati pako, wakange asingadi kutsika pasi norutsoka rwake nokuda kounengwe hwake noundere hwake, uchava nomufungo wakaipa kumurume wake waanoda, nemwanakomana wake, nomwanasikana wake;

⁵⁶The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

⁵⁷nokumwana wake muduku, waachangobereka, nokuvana vake vaachazobereka; nekuti uchadya pakavanda nokuda kokushaiwa zvinhu zvose, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako pamasuwo ako.

⁵⁷and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your gates.

⁵⁸Kana usingachenjeri kuita mashoko ose omurayiro uyu, akanyorwa mubhuku iyi, kuti utye zita iri rinobwinya nerinotyisa, rinoti: JEHOVHA MWARI WAKO;

⁵⁸If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH YOUR GOD;

⁵⁹Jehovha uchakurova iwe navana vako namatambudziko anoshamisa, matambudziko makuru, asingakurumidzi kupera, namatenda akaipa, asingakurumidzi kupera.

⁵⁹then Yahweh will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.

⁶⁰Uchauyisazve pamusoro pako hosha dzose dzeEgipita, dzawakanga uchitya, kuti dzikunamatire.

⁶⁰He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cling to you.

⁶¹Namatenda ose, namatambudziko ose, asina kunyorwa mubhuku yomurayiro uyu, ndiwo achauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pako, kusvikira waparadzwa.

⁶¹Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you, until you are destroyed.

⁶²Muchasara mava vashoma, kunyange makanga muri vazhinji senyeredzi dzokudenga; nekuti hauna kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako.

⁶²You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky for multitude; because you didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

⁶³Zvino Jehovha sezvaakanga achikufarirai achida kukuitirai zvakanaka, nokukuwanzai, saizvozvo Jehovha uchafara pamusoro penyu kukupedzai nokukuparadzai; muchadzurwa kunyika kwaunoenda, kuti ive yako.

⁶³It shall happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the land where you go in to possess it.

⁶⁴Jehovha uchakurashanya pakati pendudzi dzose, kubva pamugumo mumwe wenyika kusvikira kuno mumwe mugumo; ipapo uchandoshumira vamwe vamwari vawakanga usingazivi, iwe namadzibaba ako, vamwari vamatanda navamabwe.

⁶⁴Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.

⁶⁵Pakati pendudzi idzo haungawani zororo, netsoka dzako hadzingawani pokuzorora; asi Jehovha uchakupa ipapo moyo unowonda;

⁶⁵Among these nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

⁶⁶upenyu hwako hucharembera pamberi pako, uchatya usiku namasikati, haungazivi kana uchararama;

⁶⁶and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.

⁶⁷mangwanani uchati, Dai aiva madekwana! Madekwana uchati, Dai aiva mangwanani! Nokutya komoyo wako, zvauchaona nameso ako.

⁶⁷In the morning you shall say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you shall say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

⁶⁸Jehovha uchakuisazve Egipita nezvikepe nenzira yandakati kwauri, Hauchazoionizve; ipapo muchandozvitengesa kuvavengi venyu, kuti muve varanda navarandakadzi, asi hakungavi nomunhu uchakutengai.

⁶⁸Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
